Working alongside your ex-boyfriend is never easy. But Joey King and Jacob Elordi did it flawlessly when they returned to film the Netflix rom-com The Kissing Booth 2 as well as the yet-to-be-released third film which was shot in secret.
King, 21, stars as Elle Evans, a high school junior who falls for bad boy Noah Flynn, played by Australian actor Elordi, 23. By the end of the film, Noah and Elle are in love.
In the sequel, The Kissing Booth 2, Noah has left home to study at Harvard University while Elle is starting her senior year at high school.
King and Elordi started dating after they met on the set of the first film in 2017. However, they split before returning for the second film.
What happened between Jacob Elordi and Joey King?
King and Elordi met during filming for The Kissing Booth in 2017. The pair made their relationship Instagram official when King posted photos with Elordi in June 2017.
During a series of red carpet appearances for the film’s release, they looked madly in love.
King later spoke about Elordi in an interview with Bello magazine.
“Was it love at first sight? Well, I thought he was very cute when we first met, but it started as a friendship. Right away we were talking about gross things with each other,” she said.
“But before long I started to realise, ‘Hey, I think I kind of like this person!’ It was such an interesting experience meeting your boyfriend on set because you spend so much time together and become so close so fast. We were spending 17 hours a day together, and all of us would hang out after work and watch movies together and stuff. It was great.”
However by the end of 2018, it looked like the couple had gone their separate ways.

In November 2018, it appeared to be over for the couple after Elordi told fans he was taking a break from social media. “G’day! Like to take a moment to thank everyone for the support over the last year,” he wrote in a since-deleted post. “I’m incredibly grateful to be able to connect with so many of you. I’m going to be signing off on this whole social media shebang while I work. Cheers for everything, stay happy :).”
Meanwhile, King hinted she was going through a breakup by tweeting on November 28, “Thank god I have my dog tho.”
In an interview with Refinery29 in July 2019, King seemingly opened up about the split.
“All you can really do at is shut your phone off and crawl into your sister’s bed and watch Friends with her, because when you’re going through something and the world wants to go through it with you or [wants] to get every piece of detail from you about it, it’s really difficult. Some of these things are just meant for you,” she said of the apparent breakup.
Who is Jacob Elordi’s girlfriend?
Elordi is rumoured to be in a relationship with Zendaya. The pair worked together during filming for Euphoria. Neither of them have ever publicly confirmed they were together, however they have been seen getting close during a visit to New York City.
